Crysis patch..

Is there a difference?

i didn't think that was supposed to be out yet?

I want benchmarks!!! Comparison in performance in both DX9 and DX10.

You can try to use FRAPS. Its free. Which ATI card do you have in CF? What resolution are you using?

Good for you. I'm getting less of the same FPS with my NX8800GTX (before installing the patch). Avg 25 FPS.

You remember how much FPS in avg you were getting before the patch? Just trying to find out a percentage of improvement for CF setups.

That's quite the boost! Go CF!

Well... I think its great if someone was to go pickup the game today. I've personally completed the game about 6-7 times now and well... lets just say that I might complete the game one more time if I really force myself to do so. Bah, ok, one more time just for the eye candy lol

I envy you that FPS....
I wonder if there is better FPS in single card cases? (obviously not as massive as that but....)

I had high hopes for this patch, but didn't really expect it to live up to my expectations (if that makes any sense). Come to find out I am getting some noticeable improvements. I haven't benched anything yet, but things are definitely smoother. Still, Crytek has a lot of work to do before I will consider this game a finished product.

I am able to get ~20FPS on my 1440x900 LCD with all very high settings in DX10 throughout most parts of the game. There are still cases that I must resort to high to make it playable, but those are rare now. Of course I am not using FSAA.

Also, DX9 doesn't seem that much faster than DX10 anymore. Strangely enough, even though I get slightly higher framerates with DX9, DX10 "feels" smoother. Maybe it's the motion blur.

As for my comment about Crysis not being a finished product, I was referring to some of the glitches that I am still experiencing, mostly with the physics being out of whack. Things like helicopters crashing and bouncing around for like 10 minutes making all kinds of noise.

Cheers homerdog, the frames was my question, it feels unfinished to me too. I saw a burning tank once slowly spin on its side and float into the air firing wildly. Then I shot it with the rocket launcher once more and it exploded and fell back down. Plus speed boats picking you out from a mile off is a bit cack and throwing grenades is seemingly impossible to do sneakily, even to a group of soldiers facing away from you, they seem to register it as soon as it leaves my hand. Apart from that it looks awesome and its great fun. Cheers.
